Last night I was praying for you all, like I said I would, and I turned on the radio and one of the first songs played was One of These Days. I thought that was nice timing. Another little assurance from God that it’s going to be alright.

A beginning and an ending, dates upon a stoneBut the moment in the middle is how we will be knownCause what defines us can be found within a lineFinding reason for our time

chorus:And the years go by, how they seem to flyThey’ll all be over soonWhen our life is done, did we live and loveThe way we wanted toCause everyday that we leave behindGoes on to tell the truthOf how we lived in the line between the twoThe line between the two

Will I walk straight, will I be trueWill I finish strongWill I stand up for the momentWhen I could right a wrongBecause the legacy we have will never changeIt’s how we spend our days

chorus

I could live a life for just myselfOr I could live a life for someone elseBut I’ll live and die just to hearYou sayWell done my son come and be with Me

chorus

I so wish this whole thing was just an April Fools joke and that she would pop up again today saying it wasn't true.

But it is true...

I feel the exact same way. You always think that this is a bad dream and you will wake up and everything will be the way it was, then you realize that the nightmare is reality and it is like a punch in the stomach.

Wow you just summed up exactly how I feel

Sadly, I've been through the grief process a number of times so I sort of have an idea of what's going on.

The tide of life has ebbed away,The flesh can bind no more.My soul quick flies,And on I riseTo heaven's golden door.

Death is not a fearful foe,A black and ugly thing,But very fair,It is a stair,That leads unto my King.

In life I did no know you well enough, and now that death has parted you from us, I find that what I know is far to much for the memories are what make me sad. LIVE IN JOY SNC! YOU ARE MORE BLESSED THAN ALL OF US!

If you weren't able to be there, or even if you were, if you feel led to post a prayer or verses on here, please fill free to do so.

I saw this thread like a few days ago, and I was too shocked to write anything. I just logged off...

I didn't know Strong very well, but I did look up to her as something of a role model. She was always kind and friendly to everyone. I've never seen her type anything negative about anyone. I'll miss her.

In addition to wearing my black and blue hoodie for the last week and a half, this weekend I've had a piece of blue tape with "StrongNChrist" on it on the upper left arm of my hoodie.
